Deleting inherited attribute using FM 'BBP_UPDATE_ATTRIBUTES'

[Former Member]

Hi Forum,

I am trying to delete one value for attribute CAT using FM BBP_UPDATE_ATTRIBUTE , this attribute value is Inherited but I am unable to delete it.

I tried this:

1. Set the inherited flag to space using the same FM (in PPOSA_BBP I can see that inherited checkbox is not checked now)

2. Try deleting the attribute using same FM (now the inherited flag is SET in PPOSA_BBP instead of deleting the attribute value)

Is it not possible to delete inherited attribute or set inherited to space in PPOSA_BBP using BBP_UPDATE_ATTRIBUTES FM ?

Another query is in this FM only USER_ID_P and ORGUNIT_ID_P are import parameters, how can we update attributes of a POSITION using the FM?

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hello Anubhav,

Inheritance between objects cannot be managed by any function module.

Even if it can be done with a function module i don't know, it will be overwritten by your current customizing ( OOATTRCUST transaction) for attribute CAT.

Regarding attributes update for positions, did you try with import parameter IS_OBJECT (OTYPE = 'S' and OBJID = position ID) ?

Regards.

Laurent.
